RONCATO ROAM



Industrial design - User experience





22 November 2016 - 1 February 2017
Solo project



Roncato roam is a cabin bag designed for the roamers. The project was developed in 2016 during an academic collaboration with the Italian suitcases brand Roncato. A roamer is the modern nomad, a routine traveler, that choose to move either for work and for leisure. Analysing this profile I found the need for more than one travel kit during his journeys. I then designed a cabin size suitcase that comprise a rigid case, a backpack and a handbag, that can be used together as a whole or as single pieces for extra space or for different needs. In fact from the research phase after landing with a suitcase the roamer prefers to walk with a lighter luggage, like a backpack for cityseeing, or a briefcase for a work meeting. I worked also on the wheels of the suitcase, since having four of them would have stolen 5 cm of space, I introduced two omnidirectional wheels used now in industrial robots, allowing better movements and narrower turns.
